Check Out Rod and Wolfgang Van Halen talking About His New Song
WOLFGANG VAN HALEN released a musical tribute to his dad on Monday. It's his debut single"Distance", which he called an "open letter" to EDDIE VAN HALEN. It includes the chorus, "No matter what the distance is, I will be with you."
Rod did a Zoom call with Wolf Monday afternoon. They covered a lot of things in 20 minutes.
They talked about the single and video which features old home movies of Eddie being an AMAZING dad to Wolfgang.
It ends with a voicemail Eddie left for his son, praising the song and saying, quote, "I'm so proud of you and I love you so much. Call me if you get a chance, I just want to hear your voice."
He says, quote, "As my pop continued to struggle with various health issues, I was imagining what my life would be like without him and how terribly I'd miss him.
"While the song is incredibly personal, I think anyone can relate to the idea of having a profound loss in their life."
While Wolfgang spoke to our own Rod Ryan, and he said there were talks to do a massive VAN HALEN reunion that would have brought back EVERYBODY . . .David Lee Roth, Sammy Hagar, Michael Anthony. It was Wolfies idea!!!!
He said it was a bug he'd been putting in his dad's ear since 2015. The idea was that Wolfgang would OPEN for them, playing his own music. As the years went by, his dad warmed up to the idea and they jokingly called it the "Kitchen Sink Tour".
